Twas the night before Christmas…

….actually it’s the night before my 16miler, but that doesn’t have the same ring to it :/

Thursday dinner

Whole Foods tofu:

With other stuff = yum!

Friday

Well, what an INCREDIBLE day. Seriously.

I was at work – first off, who should walk into the store but Mr Pitt himself, 5 out of 6 [7? 8? 11?] children in tow. He wanted a new collar for his pet tiger, who – fyi – was previously owned by Mike Tyson (that bit is true – Mike Tyson DOES own a tiger). I had to explain that we were all out of collars; Paris had been in but minutes before and bought the store out…you’ve got to keep all those kittens/Chihuahuas/ferrets under control somehow! I did manage to show him a rather splendid coat though, that was hand knitted that morning by Bruce Willis. He’s quite the knitter!! He made me a cardigan too, it’s very cosy. Anyway – Mr Pitt did end up buying the coat, although he bought it more as a present to Jennifer Aniston – she’s a big fan of menswear apparently (or maybe it was a present for her current lover, Michael Jackson. Who knows.). The most incredible thing of the day though….

…..OK, that was a slightly truth-less story! In actual fact, I spent my entire work shift steaming. Just steaming. Steaming is like, ironing, but standing up and holding a stick thing that pumps out steam, to get rid of clothes crinkles. Hardly an exciting day…which is why I thought I’d tell you about how I wish my day HAD been!!

There was some highlights to the day though, mainly food and a run – a rice cake, an apple & wheat germ, then a 4mile run, at about a 9min/mile pace, which preceded the bestest breakfast in the history of breakfasts!! See I think the inevitable is happening..I’m getting a liiiiiiil bit bored of my EGMs, and I want a change! I bet y’all didn’t think this day would arrive – but it has!!

• 1/2 . oats
• 1/2 c. milk
• 1/2 c. yogurt
• 1 tbsp chia seeds
• 1 tbsp Vega chocolate smoothie mix
• more milk in the morning

I microwaved it briefly to warm it through (I was chilly and very rain-soaked after the 4miler )….

….. and then added in banana soft serve:

Then, I microwaved the bowl again, so the banana melted even more:

And as a side dish, I had some cereal (guess which sort!?) and some blackberries:

 

SSSSOOOOOO GOOOOOODD!!!!! Best o/n oats combo EVER!!! And of course, the cereal was good too Bar the puffs and freeze dried fruit. Does freeze dried food majorly grind anyone else!? I hate the stuff!

The addition of the Vega made the bowl hold me over sooo much longer than usual – I never needed my snacks!

Lunch was yet more cereal….

…As well as a roast veggie mix – celeriac, parsnip, carrot, with broad beans: 

Sehr good.

I got home and had yet more cereal (3rd time today..cripes, I’m addicted. Cereal rehab may be in order, right Allie!!??)

Theeeen my mamma and I took the dog for a walk, theeeeen I had a super duper dinner. I was feeling a bit bleerrrhh before dinner, and was craving three things:

• peanut butter
• volume
• tofu
• chocolate
• chickpeas

(okay, 5 things). Roasted cocoa chickpeas, roasted tofu with a peanut butter/soy sauce, roasted veggies:

 

Oh yes. Hit the spot 100%!

My mamma and I then watched An Affair To Remember, and I had some dessert

 

Actually, that was last nights’ dessert (serious chocolate craving, that only a homemade fresh-from-the-freezer vegan chocolate cupcake could solve :p). Tonight’s’ dessert:

Chocolate soya yogurt with some Grape Nuts and some beet crisps from Whole Foods (only ingredient = beets!). Love

I’ve written a lot already..I’ll go a bit faster now :p

Saturday

Breakfast – a strawberry pink EGM (without green!):

Loverrrrrly

Lunch = a soup/thickie:

• pearl barley, cooked (50g dry weight)
• carrots, boiled with the pear barley (2 small)
• a verrry soft pear
• roasted kabocha
• mixed spice
• salt to taste
• vanilla (1/2 tsp?)
• water to thin

Pre-blend:

Post-blend:

(with a side of parsnip and celeriac fries)

DREAMY!!! Seriously! Like, proper delicious! Wow. I might even add it to my recipe page! High praise indeed.

Ok, that’s enough now! Three dinners in one post would probably be a bit much

I’ll leave y’all with two things –

a) a request to wish me luck on my 16miler tomorrow (I’m feeling the fear!) and

b) check out the last search engine term for my blog….crikey.

I dread to think who has been reading!
